comeon man
after consumed which is a fucking landmark

those lame quasi dark and gothic vocals, that r supposed to
be scary, it wouldnt scare anyone older than 9

still cant believe what he did

hmm, i don't really think of it as scary???
and i don't see that big difference between consumed and
closer, except that closer is a bit more dark and
minimalistic...ahh

You like emo " ' music ' ".

Points: 5437 Status: Regular



really though, there are about 11 rock bands represented,
and several other electroacoustic outfits... i think the
list is decently proportioned... there may be predominantly
electronic albums, but the aesthetic and intent is so
diverse i don't see why one would even bother to categorize
them next to one another...

isn't it though? :P

but really, it was a good year... every year is a good
year... 2004 is shaping up real nicely... i guess i just had
to post this because i have been half working on it for so
long that i just wanted it not to go to waste... ? i
dunno... bleh

I agree with some, I disagree with the most.... I don't even
know quite a few. To say the truth I could never compose a
top 50...

i'd be interested to here specifics if you are interested in
taking the time... it's not a vanity thing, i just really
like talking about music.. ya know?

It's probably because I have a narrower range of compatible
emotions. I mostly like negative music.
To say the truth I could never compose a
top 50...

I find it hard to pick out 50 records I like now.... It
would be impossible to do what you did.

no i see what you mean... i just meant i was curious as to
which ones you liked and which ones you didn't...

I agree with draft 7.30, radio amor ,land of lurches
,ISS:SA. I'm beginning to get into la nouvelle pauvrete
although I quite disliked it a while ago. I'm slowly getting
some oren ambarchi from soulseek but I guess it could be a
while before I give it a thorough listen. mu-ziq I hate with
a certain passion right now. prefuse 73 pisses me off... as
do most bands with sultry female vocals like broadcast.
Electro accoustic is for me a definite no-no(if by that term
you mean stuff like leafcutter john) and the rest of the
stuff either I don't know or I dislike.

very happy with your #1 pick :) and it's nice to see colleen

Oh, sorry Xammax, that wasn't really to you. I was going to
reply with a snide comment, but decided to skip that and get
right to the point.
